Fantasy Tip: His first save could be written off as a fluke because the game went 13 innings, but it is tougher to ignore this six-out effort. Torres looks like the next in line if Jeremy Jeffress struggles, so he could be worth a speculative add in deeper leagues.

The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent RP Carlos Torres (Mets) to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Feb. 10, with an invitation to spring training.

Fantasy Tip: Torres could bolster the back-end of the Atlanta bullpen as a late-innings setup man, but he'll have more value to his real team than to fantasy owners. Only those in NL-only rotisserie formats looking for ERA and WHIP help in the late rounds will want to take a flier on Torres if he makes the roster.

New York Mets RP Jenrry Mejia (elbow) was placed on the disabled list Tuesday, April 7, after having stiffness and pain in his right elbow Monday, April 6. X-rays and an MRI exam came back negative, though, and he received a cortisone injection. His DL stint has been backdated to Sunday, April 5. RP Jeurys Familia is expected to serve as the closer with Mejia out, with RP Carlos Torres as the main setup man.

Fantasy Tip: Saves seekers need to quickly run to the waiver wire to put in a claim on Familia, even if it's for the short term. Mejia has a history of arm problems, and he may struggle upon his return.

New York Mets P Carlos Torres made the emergency start in place of grieving SP Bartolo Colon Monday, Aug. 18. He became the first pitcher to strike out six batters on zero days' rests since Chicago Cubs P Steve Wilson struck out 10 back on Sept. 10, 1998. He is also the first to throw at least five scoreless innings on no rest since former Philadelphia Phillies SP Bruce Ruffin went eight scoreless June 21, 1991.

New York Mets RP Carlos Torres dismissed manager Terry Collins' suggestion that he might be tipping his pitches after allowing six home runs in his last 10 innings pitched. Torres pointed out that his last four home runs allowed have all been against different teams.

Fantasy Tip: Familia finished off the Braves last night in a non-save situation, when Jenrry Mejia was unavailable. Familia appears to be the No. 2 candidate for saves for the Mets, so he is worth a speculative add in NL-only and deep leagues, if you're searching for saves. However, if there is a health issue, Carlos Torres or Vic Black could be next in line.

New York Mets RP Carlos Torres (hand) was struck on the bare hand with a liner in the 11th inning Monday, July 7, against the Atlanta Braves. He remained in the game after a visit from a trainer, but he was sent for X-rays.
